In Nutritional Planning for the New Year Part 2 we talked about planning and creating grocery lists. Today in Part 3 we are going to talk about meal timing, cravings and prepared foods.
In Nutritional Planning for the New Year Part 1 I talked about the importance of planning and how not planning out our meals can set us up for failure. Last Tuesday I found myself looking at an empty refridgerator and an empty cupboard. It took a lot of discipline and self-control to not just grab the first unhealthy thing I could find.
Recently I put up a post on my blog that I think you may want to read Nutritional Planning for the New Year Part 1. We are so focused on making some kind of new goal for the New Year, that we lose focus of why we even created the goal in the first place. If you are thinking about turning around your eating habits or starting a new diet, read this post first.
It has been a long time since I put up a post devoted strictly to nutrition. I figured now would be very timely as this is the most active week of the year for new diets to begin. I have a lot of information to share on this particular topic so I am going to turn this into a 3 part series instead of boring you with one long post.
Are you trying to lose weight? Which latest diet craze have you started?

To weigh yourself or not – that is the question. Depending on where you are in your weight loss efforts the scale can be your best friend or your biggest enemy. The scale is a useful tool if you are at the correct weight and you are trying to maintain your efforts.
Food binges can be the worst. Do you ever hit that point in the afternoon where you feel like you are no longer in control of your food choices? Your intentions are good; you want to choose something healthy, but nothing healthy appeals to you. So instead, you go for the high calorie - low nutritious junk food out of the vending machine or the homemade things brought into the office.
Generally I am pretty leery anytime I hear the word diet, I don’t believe in them nor do I think they work. However I have found a diet I actually like, yes you guessed it the Carb Rotation Diet. I think he should have named it something else because it really isn’t just a diet. Jayson teaches you how to put together healthy meal plans for life, but then there is that piece in there that can be used for rapid fat loss 15 pounds in about 30 days to be exact.
Here are 3 tips from Jayson about fad diets for women:
Are you one to eat out often as opposed to making home cooked meals? Now that 2009 is upon us eating out less often may be one of your goals. Have you ever thought about the reasons why you go out to eat so much? I could probably give you a few reasons: it is definitely more convenient, tastes better, fits into your lifestyle better and a lot less work.
